I'd use MXBF. (Aka Bookfinder.) This cross-searches most of the known used-book services, so you can see the range of prices.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well, I just paid the $20 and the woman I spoke to said if I sent a letter, they might remove the negative credit item.

I read Westerfeld's Uglies a few weeks ago, and liked it a lot. Now I have to return it to my niece and see if she has Pretties...

Naomi Novik had a very funny little contest on her LJ: how many genre cliches can you fit into a very short story? The Ultimate Crossover Contest, here: [link]

Oh, that reminds me! I was thinking the other day about a book that was discussed here a while ago. Actually, I think someone just linked to a review on someone else's website. Anyway, the book was clearly awful (possibly self-published) and involved a protagonist who embodied nearly every current bad fantasy/romance cliche: he was a telepathic alien elf pirate, or something, and the review was fantastically snarky and funny. Is this ringing a bell for anyone? I tried googling for it, but unsurprisingly, a search for "alien elf pirate" has a pretty high signal-to-noise ratio.

As well as Highlander, Buckaroo Banzai, and Shawshank, Clancy's been in Starship Troopers, Blue Steel, and Shoot to Kill, all of which have been run a brazilian times on cable. He's also VO-ing the Honda Ridgeline commercials at the moment. Know that voice anywhere, by the curl of my toes.
ETA: He was also a fling of Kerry's, on ER
